correction, raise the intensity by one level. To cure the digger,
you must catch him in the beginning of the act every time he
digs. Expect to spend several days watching your dog closely.
These days do not need to be consecutive, but when you
cannot watch him, do not leave him where he can dig.
Continue to observe the dog for three days while he’s in a
place where he has the chance to dig. If the dog has gone for
three days after the most recent correction without trying
to dig, you can usually consider this training complete. Be
prepared to repeat it if digging starts again.
CHASING
A dog won’t chase something he consistently finds unpleasant.
You can use the Remote Trainer very effectively to cause the
dog to associate strong displeasure with chasing. However, this
training will generally discourage him from chasing only the
particular thing you corrected him for chasing. For example, if
you have corrected him for chasing cars, this will not carry over
and prevent him from chasing cats. You must correct him for
chasing each thing you don’t want him to chase. If your dog
already has a habit of chasing, breaking it might be difficult.
